[QUOTE="Raloc, post: 2077749, member: 28093"] I wouldn't have allowed it. Then again, I'm fairly oldschool in my DMing. The other option you have, since he's pseudo (I say pseudo since he could have picked better combos) min/maxing is to simply min/max the crap out of your NPCs. Every cheap trick in the book, anything you could think of. Get clerics with feats from Libris Mortis, make it so their summoned guys kick buckets of arse, etc. Make a trip based fighter to go against him. My character in one of the games I play in is a trip based fighter, he can do ~120 damage per round, and have about 46 AC at level 12 (using Improved Combat Expertise). Another thing I'm doing with some of my NPCs (well, one of them) is to give them delayed action items. In this case, CSW. After they "kill" the enemy cleric, some of his thugs are going to run up and distract the PCs, draw them out of the room. CSW item goes off when he reaches 0, but he plays dead. After they leave the room, into the secret door and bingo, recurring villain. [/QUOTE]
